no, we can not say that hotmail is slow. it depends on the internet traffic also as well as on our internet speed.sometimes it can be happen that it seem us to be slow because of slow internet. It may be slow as compared to gmail, but it's not so slow that we tell it considerable slow.
I think it because of the heavy traffic in hotmail. It is very slow for me at times. Iam from India,so its generally fast in the morning for me and not so much at nights.
I think, your internet is slow because i am using hotmail for a long time but till now I have no problem like that. So i think first you check your internet speed.
Hello Secresau, Microsoft is quit fast working on my computer i think you should scan your computer or check your internet connection.
The same problem occurs in yahoomail with me,sometimes that forgot my password also don't know what happens.
I also have hotmail id and use it everyday it will be normal in speed ,i think so you have a problem in ip address some time it affect on network speed.
